Power Struggle

Power $truggle (or Machtspiele) is an adaptation of "Die Firma", awarded a special prize in the "Hippodice" game creation competition in 2009.
Players compete in business to be the first to reach 4 victory points out of 6 possible, each corresponding to a different objective (score at least 7 influence points or 8 corruption points, or even outclass their sworn enemy). Because in Power $truggle as in any big company, there is always someone you can't stand, who opposes everything you try, and who you try to humiliate just for fun... . This person doesn't know that you are their sworn enemy, but it's a safe bet that they will guess during the game.

The game rounds are made up of 2 phases: a management committee and a services phase, itself made up of 4 to 7 rounds. During the management committee, we appoint the new CEO as well as the 6 directors of the company. The player who controls the direction of communication can then secretly watch and classify the events which will notably determine the number of turns during the services phase. After each of these events, players will be able to perform an action, such as hiring or transferring employees, opening new departments, sending a director to the board of directors or making him an external consultant, using a privilege card or bribing other players . These actions give you skill points, power within the company, money, or other benefits. Bribing your opponents, in addition to allowing you to obtain what you want, increases your corruption skill. Even if your attempt fails, you will gain fame for being manipulative, devious and discreet. You will go far, little one!
